I’ve never been the biggest Dire Strairs fan, and I will admit I attended last night’s Dire Strsits Legacy concert with some trepidation, but I found myself having a new found respect for the band and it’s musical “legacy”. Since much of the Legacy lineup are Dire Straits players, with former Buggle and Yes member Trevor Horn on the bass, the band primarily stuck with excellent renditions of the familiar Dire Straits classics while throwing in a new song that fit right in to the playlist. There was no Mark Knofler, and the vocals were sometimes buried in the mix, but I thouroghly enjoyed the  show that was  performed embarrassingly in the half round to a sparse house.

Trevor Horn sang lead on the Yes Classic “Owner of a Lonely Heart”, which he produced for the band, as the Legacy first encore.

Money for Nothing

Rock on!
